When to call us in Northbourne
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Schools and community buildings such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Northbourne
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you have open joints in brickwork or panels and water getting in round frames after rain, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Northbourne it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In and around smaller places like Northbourne, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Planned mastic for Northbourne portfolios
Northbourne is about 65 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Northbourne is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Walmer station (2.2 miles south-east of Northbourne) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Augustine are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Smaller jobs around Northbourne can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.

Other services in Northbourne
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Surface by surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
FAQs: Northbourne
Can you quote for a block close to Walmer station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Does your area include sites such as Pike Road Industrial Estate, near Northbourne?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Northbourne, Pike Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
